Every once in a while I have an “off” week. You know the kind, don’t you? I just feel “blah” for no apparent reason. The couch becomes my best friend, and I can’t motivate myself to move more often than necessary. I watch too much tv and feel guilty about it, but I can’t seem […]
The One with Surrendered Dreams
January 1st, 2011 is so vivid in my mind. The transformation God was working in my heart. Contentment. I didn’t even need to look back into all those months blog archives to be transported to that time alone with Jesus on the couch. But, reading my own sentiments all over again stir up in my […]
The One Where She Misses
I would just like to say that I’m really missing my mom & dad. Here’s the thing–I’ve lived far away from them for years and years now. So it’s not that I’m homesick. It’s the fact that they’ve been on this experience-of-a-lifetime cruise to the Holy Land of Israel for the past two weeks. I am […]
The One with the Age Dilemma
With my birthday just around the corner, I have been thinking about “age” a lot lately. Or maybe it’s just on my mind because it seems to be on everyone else’s mind.* *please note–Before I get up on my little soapbox, I would like you all to know I’m not actually mad at anyone who’s ever said […]
The One with a Candy Corn Confession
Are you a fan of candy corn? It seems to be one of those divisive foods people love or hate. You know, along with Bleu Cheese dressing and Cilantro. I have a few specific thoughts concerning this autumnal sugary snack. source First of all, I like my candy corn to be soft and chewy, not hard […]
The One with the Swollen Speech
You may remember my trip home (to my parents’ house that is) which I took on Monday in an effort to see my little sis’ one last time before she moves out West. It was a last minute plan–as in, I decided at 8am that I would leave by 10am–and I got to surprise Ash. […]
The One with New Music
I may have gotten myself into big trouble. So to speak. The other day I was searching Amazon.com (pretty much my favorite place to shop ever) in order to find a new set of piano lesson books for my brand new student. (My third in three weeks!! Can I get a woot, woot?!) I easily found […]
The One with the True Haggler
Tonight my mom called. We chit-chatted for a while and just before hanging up, I remembered a story from last weekend that I just had to tell her. By the end of my re-telling, we worth both cracking up with laughter, just about dying over the ridiculousness of the story I had just told. The story you […]
The One with the Top [insert number here] Shows I’m Stoked About
And now, because I forgot it was Tuesday until it was already past my bedtime, because I haven’t slept well in days, because I am a lover of quality (I use that term a bit loosely) television entertainment (I know, I know, not the best use of my time, but I love tv, I can’t […]
The One with the Decisions
Decision-making is not my forte. Sure, when it comes to group leading I can be the bossy one and just make a decision (!) because no one else will. But in personal matters, I need decisive decision improvements. I have McDonald’s menu memorized yet it still takes me an abnormally long time to order. If we’re […]
